I almost think you are playing devil's avocado with this one Adam, but hey, I'll bite...

I think that creating sub genres isn't going to decrease the variety you are going to hear when playing out. That depends more on the dj or musician as opposed to what the music is called. One can play more than one sub genre; just because a sound has been further classified, does not mean there can be no inter-mixing. I guess my feeling is that IDM is getting to be an awfully large playing field; it encompasses a lot of different types of music. There is a pretty darn big gap between Arovane and Venetian Snares and I think it is reasonable to discuss different ways to classify the obvious musical branching within the genre. -c --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
